4.1 PROGRAMS

4.1.1 Defense programs

Future Combat Air System (FCAS)

The Future Combat Air System (FCAS) consists of a combat system built around a new-generation fighter (NGF), combining piloted platforms (current and next generation fighters, refuelers, AWACS) and drones: France has been designated lead nation and Dassault Aviation lead contractor on the new generation fighter. One of the highlights of the first half of 2019 was the industrial agreement signed by Dassault Aviation and Airbus Defence and Space on the opening day of the Paris Air Show on June 17, 2019. The agreement covers demonstrator programs for the main components of the FCAS, namely a new-generation fighter and support drones.

At the same time, Dassault Aviation and Airbus Defence and Space submitted a joint industrial proposal to the French Defense Procurement Agency (DGA) and the German Federal Ministry of Defense for the initial FCAS Demonstrator phase. The industry is committed to an ambitious technology demonstration program, with the first test flight scheduled to take place in 2026. Mock-ups of the NGF and support drones were shown to the public as part of this major new phase of the program. The mock-ups were unveiled at the Paris Air Show by Éric Trappier, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Dassault Aviation, and Dirk Hoke, Chief Executive Officer of Airbus Defence and Space, under the aegis of French President Emmanuel Macron and in the presence of Florence Parly, French Armed Forces Minister, Ursula von der Leyen, German Federal Defense Minister, and Margarita Robles, Spanish Defense Minister.

8.3 Backlog

The consolidated backlog as of June 30, 2019 was € 19,226 million vs € 19,376 million as of December 31, 2018. It consists of:

the French Defense backlog, which stood at € 4,569 million, vs € 3,011 million as of December 31, 2018. It mainly consists of 28 Rafale (same as of December 31, 2018), the integrated through-life support (RAVEL) contract for the Rafale, the F4-standard Rafale and the modernization of the Mirage 2000D (n.b.: at the end of august, 28 Rafale were in backlog),

the Defense Export backlog, which stood at € 12,860 million vs € 14,217 million as of December 31, 2018. This mainly includes 63 Rafale (1 Rafale Egypt, 26 Rafale Qatar and 36 Rafale India) vs 73 Rafale (1 Rafale Egypt, 36 Rafale Qatar and 36 Rafale India) as of December 31, 2018 (n.b.: at the end of august, 57 Rafale Export were in backlog),

8.4 Results

Operating income

Adjusted operating income for the first half of 2019 came to € 250 million, up 125% from € 111 million in the first half of 2018. Operating margin was 8.2%, vs 6.5% for the first half of 2018. This improvement is mainly due to the sharp increase in net sales (+79%), which led to a better absorption of fixed costs. Self-financed research and development costs rose sharply to € 258 million, as a result of the simultaneous development of 2 Falcon programs, vs € 143 million last year first half (+80%). This accounts for 8.4% of net sales, as in the previous year. The hedging rate was $/€1.18 in the first half of 2019, vs $/€1.19 in the first half of 2018. Net financial result

Adjusted financial income in the first half of 2019 stood at € -26 million vs € -38 million in the first half of 2018. This net financial expense is the result of the financing component recorded under long-term military contracts, which was lower in the first half of 2019 due to the resumption of down-payments for the delivery of the Rafale Qatar.

Net income

Adjusted net income in the first half of 2019 was € 286 million, up 54% from € 186 million in the first half of 2018. The contribution of Thales to the Group’s net income was € 141 million (4.6% of net sales) vs € 132 million (7.7% of net sales) during the first half of 2018. Adjusted net margin stood at 9.3% in the first half of 2019, vs 10.9% in the first half of 2018. Net margin is impacted by the fall in the relative weight of Thales in the Group’s net sales.

Dassault Aviation


FINANCIAL STRUCTURE 9.

9.1 Available cash

The Group uses a specific indicator called “Available cash”, which reflects the amount of total liquidities available to the Group, net of financial debts. It includes the following balance sheet items: cash and cash equivalents, available-for-sale marketable securities (at market value) and financial debts; it excludes the impact on financial debts of the application of IFRS 16 “Leases”. The Group’s available cash stood at € 4,756 million as of June 30, 2019, down € 455 million from € 5,211 million as of December 31, 2018. This is mainly due to the increase in working capital, with cash flows from operations being offset by investments made during the period and dividend payments.

Note: Over the next few years, the performance of the Rafale export contracts, the development of the two Falcon programs and the significant investments as part of the transformation plan are expected to reduce available cash.

9.2 Balance sheet (IFRS)

Total equity amounted to € 4,084 million as of June 30, 2019 vs € 4,277 million as of December 31, 2018. The € 193 million variation is mainly due to the negative impact of the actuarial difference accounted in pension liabilities. These actuarial discrepancies, booked as “other income and expense recognized directly through equity”, are related to the decline of the discount rates used to assess the pension obligations. Borrowings and financial debts amounted to € 1,151 million as of June 30, 2019, vs € 991 million as of December 31, 2018. The increase is due to the initial recognition as of June 30, 2019 of lease liabilities, recognized following the application of IFRS 16 “Leases”. They also include loans taken out by the Group in 2014 and 2015 for € 850 million as of June 30, 2019 (€ 25 million having been paid back during the first half of 2019) and locked-in employee profit-sharing funds. Inventories and work-in-progress increased by € 82 million to € 3,485 million as of June 30, 2019. Advances and down-payments received from customers net of advances and down-payments paid to suppliers fell by € 552 million as of June 30, 2019, primarily due to the resumption of down-payments following the delivery of the Rafale Qatar in the first half of 2019. Derivative financial instruments had a market value of € -31 million as of June 30, 2019, vs € 14 million as of December 31, 2018. This fall is due to changes in the $/€ exchange rate between June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 ($/€1.14 vs $/€1.15).



RISK FACTORS AND MANAGEMENT 10. There has been no major change in the main risks and uncertainties described in the 2018 annual report. Due to a fire, occurred in August in one of our supplier’s facility, Leach International Europe, we point out a potential risk in our supply chain. Impacts are under assessment.

SHAREHOLDER INFORMATION 11. Capital structure

CONCLUSION 13. The first half of 2019 was dominated by uncertainty over the European elections, geopolitical tensions, terrorism, the trade war between China and the United States, Brexit and environmental pressures. The economic environment and the $/€ exchange rate remain unpredictable. The 2019 Paris Air Show was the opportunity to take an important step towards the Future Combat Air System (FCAS) program. Under the aegis of French President Emmanuel Macron, and in the presence of the French, German and Spanish Defense Ministers, Éric Trappier, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Dassault Aviation, and Dirk Hoke, Chief Executive Officer of Airbus Defence and Space, signed the joint industrial proposal for the demonstrator programs covering the main FCAS components – namely the New Generation Fighter (NGF) and support drones, whose first mock-ups were also unveiled. France has been designated lead nation and Dassault Aviation lead contractor for the new fighter. Regarding business jets, a very flat market at the beginning of the year led to an order intake of only 7 Falcon at the end of June despite numerous prospects and negotiations started during the period. July and August saw order intakes finalizations and achievements resulting in a total of 26 Falcon order intakes as of August 31, 2019 (including the 7 Falcon orders of the first half), Considering the effort made in Falcon support since many years (Falcon Response, spare availability, service centers network…) the business jet market acknowledged Dassault Aviation’s great results. Dassault Aviation were ranked N°1 overall (AIN and ProPilot), N°1 for parts availability (AIN and ProPilot), N°1 for parts cost (AIN), N°1 for AOG support (AIN), N°1 overall aircraft availability (AIN) and N°1 for service satisfaction (ProPilot). We confirm our 2019 targets, as published in the annual release in February 2019. Reminder: delivery forecasts for 2019 of 45 Falcon and 26 Rafale (including the 1st Indian Rafale), and a significant rise in net sales. The Board of Directors would like to thank all members of staff for their commitment, dedication, expertise and determination to maintain high standards of excellence and continue our role as architect of the future.

The Board of Directors



APPENDIX

Financial reporting

IFRS 8 “Operating Segments” requires the presentation of segment information according to internal management criteria. The entire activity of the Dassault Aviation Group relates to the aviation and aerospace domain. The internal reporting made to the Chairman and CEO, and to the Chief Operating Officer, as used for the strategy and decision-making, includes no performance analysis, under the terms of IFRS 8, at a level subsidiary to this domain.

Definition of alternative performance indicators

To reflect the Group’s actual economic performance, and for monitoring and comparability reasons, the Group presented an adjusted income statement:

gains and losses resulting from the exercise of hedging instruments which do not qualify for hedge accounting under IFRS standards. This income, presented as financial income in the consolidated income statement, is reclassified as net sales and thus as operating income in the adjusted income statement,

the value of foreign exchange derivatives which do not qualify for hedge accounting, by neutralizing the change in fair value of these instruments (the Group considering that gains and losses on hedging should only impact income as commercial flows occur), with the exception of derivatives allocated to hedge balance-sheet positions whose change in fair value is presented as operating income,

the amortization of the Thales purchase price allocation (PPA),

the adjustments made by Thales in its financial reporting.

The Group also presents the “available cash” indicator which reflects the amount of the Group’s total liquidities, net of financial debt. It covers the following balance sheet items:

cash and cash equivalents,

other current financial assets (essentially available-for-sale marketable securities at their market value),

financial debt, except for lease liabilities recognized following the application of IFRS 16 “Leases”.

Only the consolidated financial statements are audited by the statutory auditors. The adjusted financial data are subject to the verification procedures applicable to all information provided in the annual report.

Note 1 - Accounting principles

1.1 General principles

On September 4, 2019, the Board of Directors closed and authorized the publication of the condensed consolidated financial statements of Dassault Aviation as of June 30, 2019. Dassault Aviation Group prepares its interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”. The consolidated financial statements are in accordance with the IFRS standards, amendments, and interpretations, as adopted by the European Union and applicable at the closing date. The interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with the accounting rules and methods used to prepare the 2018 consolidated financial statements, and take into account the change in accounting principles mentioned in paragraph 1.2 below. The impacts resulting from the first-time application of IFRS 16 “Leases” are described in paragraph 1.3. Specificities of interim consolidated financial statements Seasonality In previous years, a recurring seasonality phenomenon has been observed. As a result, the interim results as of June 30, 2019 are not necessarily representative of what might be expected for the full-year 2019. Income taxes In the context of the first-half year closing, the tax expense (current and deferred) is calculated by applying to the accounting result of the period the estimated annual weighted average tax rate expected on the basis of the rates adopted on June 30, 2019. Provisions for retirement costs Pension costs for the half-year are calculated on the basis of the actuarial valuations performed at the end of the previous year. If necessary, these valuations are adjusted to take into account curtailments, settlements or other major non-recurring events during the period. Furthermore, amounts recognized in equity and liabilities in respect of defined benefit plans are adjusted, if necessary, in order to reflect material changes impacting the yield of investment-grade corporate bonds issued in the geographic area concerned (the benchmark used to determine the discount rate) and the actual return on plan assets.



1.2 Changes in basis of accounting

Standards, amendments, and interpretations whose application has become mandatory as of January 1, 2019 Since January 1, 2019, the Group has applied the following standards, amendments, and interpretations:

- IFRS 16 “Leases”, - the interpretation IFRIC 23 “Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments”, - amendments to IAS 28 “Long-term Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures”, - annual improvements to IFRS 2015-2017, - amendments to IAS 19 “Employee Benefits”, - amendments to IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”.

The impacts of applying IFRS 16 are detailed in paragraph 1.3. The other texts have no impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

Standards, amendments, and interpretations for mandatory application after January 1, 2019

The texts presented below were not applied in advance by the Group when that option was offered.

The main texts published by the IASB and not yet adopted by the European Union are:

- amendments to IFRS 3 “Business Combinations”, - amendments to IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements” and IAS 8 “Accounting Policies, Changes in

Accounting Estimates and Errors”, - amendments to the conceptual framework.

The impacts of these texts on the Group’s financial statements are currently in the course of evaluation.

1.3 Application of IFRS 16

Implementation of IFRS 16 With effect from January 1, 2019, the Group has applied IFRS 16 “Leases”, which replaces IAS 17 “Leases” and associated interpretations. IFRS 16 treats all leases according to a single model where the lessee recognizes a lease liability (sum of discounted future payments) and a right-of-use asset classified in the balance sheet according to the underlying asset (intangible asset or property, plant and equipment). The lease expense for the year is reallocated to amortization of the right of use and to interest expense on the lease liability.



IFRS 16 has been applied using the modified retrospective approach as of January 1, 2019, recognizing the cumulative effect of the initial application of the standard at the date of the first application. As a result, comparative figures for 2018 have not been restated. Leases falling within the scope of this standard mainly concern real estate leases (land and buildings). The Group applies the two exemptions provided for in the standard (leases with a term of less than 12 months and leases for low-value assets). The term of each lease corresponds to the non-cancellable period of the lease together with an option to extend the lease if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option and an option to terminate the lease if the lessee is reasonably certain not to exercise that option. The Group has thus determined the period during which the lease is binding on a lease-by-lease basis. For each lease, the Group has chosen to value the right-of-use asset by determining the carrying amount as if this standard had been applied since the inception date of the lease, but by discounting it using its marginal borrowing rate as of the first application. The weighted average marginal borrowing rate applied to lease liabilities recognized as of the transition date is 1.2%. The Group also considered that the exemption from the initial recognition of deferred taxes did not apply. Deferred taxes will thus be recognized over the life of each lease. The difference between the amount of EUR 222,192 thousand disclosed for operating leases in Note 25 of the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2018 and the net value of rights of use of EUR 165,304 thousand as of January 1, 2019 (see Note 3) is mainly due to the discounting of lease liabilities.

1.4 Segment reporting

IFRS 8, “Operating Segments”, requires the presentation of information according to internal management criteria. The activity of the Dassault Aviation Group relates entirely to the aerospace sector. The internal reporting submitted to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and to the Chief Operating Officer, which is used for strategy and decision-making, includes no performance analysis (as defined by IFRS 8) at a level lower than this sector.

(1) provisions take account of changes in the fleet in operation and delivered contracts. In the first half of 2019, this change was mainly due to delivered military contracts.

(2) the discount rate used to calculate the provision for retirement payments for French companies (determined by reference to the yield for high-quality corporate long-term bonds rated AA) was at 1.0% as of June 30, 2019, compared with 1.60% as of December 31, 2018. The rate used to calculate the provision for retirement payments for U.S. companies was 4.05% on June 30, 2019, compared with 4.55% on December 31, 2018. The actuarial adjustments contributed to the increase in provisions for retirement payments in the amount of EUR 73,355 thousand.

A 0.50 point decrease in the discount rate would increase the total commitment by EUR 71,395 thousand, while a 0.50 point increase in the discount rate would decrease the total commitment by EUR 63,842 thousand.

Note 18 - Financial risk management

18.1 Cash and liquidity risks

18.1.1 Financial debt The Group has no significant risk in relation to its financial debt. The contracts for its loans include the usual default clauses and restrictions in terms of security conditions and merger or sale transactions. One of the loan clauses stipulates an early repayment would be demanded if GIMD were to hold less than 50% of the capital of Dassault Aviation before the loan maturity date. These loans do not contain any early repayment clauses based on the rating or financial ratios. The features of these loans are described in Note 9.

18.1.2 Cash, cash equivalents and other current financial assets The Group investment portfolio is primarily composed of money market investments with no significant risk of impairment.

(1) investments in bonds subscribed by the Group are investments with a short-term management horizon. Unspecified investments

as defined by the AMF classification are invested in short-term bond and money market funds. Most of them are also backed by warranties, which limits the risk of loss of value. The Group can therefore meet its commitments without any liquidity risk due to its cash resources and its portfolio of marketable securities. The Group is not faced with restrictions with regard to the availability of its cash and its portfolio of marketable securities. Fair value classification:

18.2 Credit and counterparty risks

18.2.1 Credit risk on bank counterparties The Group allocates its investments and performs its cash and foreign exchange transactions with recognized financial institutions. The Group has no investments or accounts with financial institutions presenting a significant risk of default.



18.2.2 Customer default risk The Group limits counterparty risk by completing most of its sales in cash and ensuring that the loans are secured by export insurance guarantees (Bpifrance Assurance Export) or collateral. The share of receivables not covered by these procedures is subject to regular individual monitoring and, if necessary, a provision for impairment.

Given the arrangements in risk mitigation that are in place, and the provisions made in its accounts, the Group’s residual exposure to the risk of default by a customer in a country subject to uncertainties is limited.

The amount of the Bpifrance Assurance Export guarantees and collateral obtained and not exercised as of June 30, 2019 is comparable to that as of December 31, 2018.

Manufacturing risk is also covered by Bpifrance Assurance Export for major military export contracts.

18.3 Other market risks

18.3.1 Market risks

The Group hedges its foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk by means of derivative financial instruments, the carrying amount of which is presented below:

(in EUR thousands) 06/30/2019 12/31/2018

Assets Liabilities Assets Liabilities

Foreign exchange derivatives 15,614 44,327 40,407 22,043

Interest rate derivatives 0 2,226 0 4,082

Derivative financial instruments 15,614 46,553 40,407 26,125

Net derivative financial instruments 30,939 14,282


The Group is exposed to a foreign exchange risk through the Parent Company in relation to its Falcon sales, which are virtually all denominated in US dollars. This risk is partially hedged by using forward exchange contracts and foreign exchange options.

The Group partially hedges its cash flows that are considered highly probable. It ensures that the initial future cash flows will be sufficient to use the foreign exchange hedges in place. The hedged amount may be adjusted as a function of changes over time in expected net cash flows.

The foreign exchange derivative instruments used by the Group do not all qualify for hedge accounting under the terms of IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”. The analysis of the instruments is presented in the table below:

(in EUR thousands) Market value as of 06/30/2019

Market value as of 12/31/2018

Instruments which qualify for hedge accounting -7,343 27,990

Instruments which do not qualify for hedge accounting -21,370 -9,626

Foreign exchange derivatives -28,713 18,364



The fair value of derivatives by maturity breaks down as follows:

(in EUR thousands) Less than one

year More than one

year Total

Foreign exchange derivatives -26,903 -1,810 -28,713

Interest rate derivatives

The Group is exposed to the volatility of interest rates through its loans contracted at a variable rate (see Note 9). The loans were swapped at a fixed rate to limit this risk.

18.3.2 Impacts of derivatives on the Group’s financial statements The impact on net income and equity of the changes in fair value of hedging instruments for the period is as follows:

(in EUR thousands) 12/31/2018 Impact on equity (1)

Impact on net financial income (2)

06/30/2019

Foreign exchange derivatives 18,364 -35,333 -11,744 -28,713

Interest rate derivatives -4,082 1,828 28 -2,226

Net derivative financial instruments 14,282 -33,505 -11,716 -30,939

(1) recognized directly through equity, share of fully consolidated companies.

(2) change in fair value of foreign exchange hedging instruments which do not qualify for hedge accounting under IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”.

The change in fair value of foreign exchange derivatives is mainly due to the change in closing rate between December 31, 2018 ($/€1.1450) and June 30, 2019 ($/€1.1380) and the fall in dollar interest rates.

18.3.3 Sensitivity test for foreign exchange derivatives

A sensitivity analysis was performed to determine the impact of a 10 cent increase or decrease in the US dollar/euro exchange rate.

Statutory auditors’ review report on the 2019 first half-year financial information

To the Shareholders,

In compliance with the assignment entrusted to us by your General Shareholders’ Meeting and in accordance with the requirements of article L. 451-1-2 III of the French Monetary and Financial Code (“Code monétaire et financier”), we hereby report to you on :

The review of the accompanying condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements of DASSAULT AVIATION, for the period from January 1st to June 30th ;

the verification of the information presented in the half-yearly management report.

These condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Board of Directors. Our role is to express a conclusion on these financial statements based on our review.

I- Conclusion on the financial statements

We conducted our review in accordance with professional standards applicable in France. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with professional standards applicable in France and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we could become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 – standard of the IFRSs as adopted by the European Union applicable to interim financial information.

Without qualifying the conclusion expressed above, we draw your attention on note « 1.3 Application of IFRS 16 » in the appendix to the condensed consolidated financial statements which highlights the change of accounting method relating to the application on January 1, 2019 of IFRS 16 « Leases ».

II- Specific verification

We have also verified the information presented in the half-yearly management report on the condensed half-yearly consolidated

financial statements subject to our review. We have no matters to report as to its fair presentation and consistency with the

condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements.
